ENOR Fund Description

ENOR Factset Analytics Insight

ENOR is a relatively new challenger to the already-entrenched Global X FTSE Norway 30 ETF (NORW). It launched in January 2012 and almost perfectly encapsulates our definition of Norwegian markets exposure; at least, it does it as well as it can subject to the IRS' RIC diversification requirements. It tilts slightly smaller than our benchmark, as those RIC rules limit the weights of big companies like Statoil. It, like the Norwegian market as a whole, invests heavily in energy companies—they make up about 1/3 of ENOR's portfolio. ENOR's low asset tally has raised closure concerns at times. Now, investors have a near perfect substitute: rival NORW switched to ENOR’s index in July 2014, offering the same coverage in a fund with more AUM and a longer history.
